Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to solicit proposals in support of the Earth Science Enterprise’s Advanced Information Systems Technology (AIST) Program. The Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) acquires, processes and delivers very large (gigabyte to terabyte) volumes of remote sensing and related data to public and governmental entities for use in understanding and protecting our home planet by developing a scientific understanding of the earth system and its response to natural and human induced changes, and to enable improved prediction of climate, weather and natural hazards for present and future generations.

Information technology is currently employed throughout the ESE’s space and ground systems, end-to-end: from on-board satellite data acquisition, through space-to-ground transmission, ground-to-ground networks, data capture and processing centers and ending with data and information distribution and analysis by end users.

This NRA solicits both hardware and/or software technology proposals in any of the following four information system technology categories: (1) On-board satellite data processing; (2) Space-based communication networks, (3) Mission automation; (4) High end computing technologies for modeling. The complete NRA will be available electronically on the release date, via the Internet at the Research Opportunities Web Page at http://research.nasa.gov/research.cfm under “Office of Earth Science (Code Y)”. A paper copy will be available to those who do not have access to Internet by calling (202) 358-3552 and leaving a voice mail message. This announcement will be open through November 8, 2002, and proposals may be submitted at any time throughout that period.
